Night Guards (Teeth Grinding Treatment, Bruxism) – Broomfield, CO

About Night Guards

Bruxism, the clinical name for grinding the teeth and clenching the jaw at night, affects many people and can cause headaches, pain, inflammation, and can lead to bigger oral health problems. To improve the quality of sleep in patients around the Broomfield, CO area, custom night guards are available at Amherst Park Family Dental by our dentists that can protect the teeth and jaw. Made from higher-quality materials than over-the-counter night guards, custom night guards from Amherst Park Family Dental fit more comfortably, offer greater protection, and last longer.

What to Expect

Our dentists will make impressions of the patient's upper and lower teeth and take digital X-rays, which will be sent to a dental laboratory near Amherst Park Family Dental. The custom-fit night guard will be crafted from high quality materials and returned to our dentists at Amherst Park Family Dental in Broomfield, CO. The patient will have their new night guard checked and fitted by our dentists, who may make minor adjustments for comfort.

Treatment Aftercare

While fitting the night guard, our dentists will give the patient more specific care instructions on how to clean and store their night guard. With proper care, a night guard can be used for several years. The patient should clean the mouth guard before and after each use. Our dentists at Amherst Park Family Dental will check for general wear at the patient's regular dental appointment and determine when the night guard needs to be repaired or replaced.
